It was love at first sight, partially because it was beautiful and probably just as much because I got it for about $20 (it was $800+ new) total because its display was coming in and out and it was rendered unusable.

Turned out it had a tiny detachment on one of the display tabs and I found the location and was able to actually fix it...somewhat.

I stuck a piece of hard paper between the LCD and the front bezel - it was even hidden from plain view - and that caused the detached tab to make contact well enough to a point where the TV would work for say 30 or more minutes.

Over time, however, probably due to the paper going thinner, it started failing more and more again and it got to the point where I pressed a little too hard one day and it cracked.

I had already gotten used to it by then and just bough a refurbished one, which I use to date and still like.

The parts of the old I listed on eBay and this is how I learned about someone wanting to get the main board.

I don't remember the details, but he eventually ended up sending their board to Coppell TV Repair LLC and we took dab at it.

Since then we've repaired a few other dead main boards from different LG 31MU97-B monitors and we've seen two different issues develop on those; I am sure there are more that will show over time and I can't be certain we'll be able to identify or fix all of them, but for the time being we are glad to offer exchange and repair services:
